It is a legal defense against a charge of homicide
Here is how I might phrase it:
(1) Homicides. It is a defense against a charge of homicide or battery involving deadly force that the accused:
(A) reasonably thought that death or grievous bodily harm was about to be inflicted wrongfully on the accused; and
(B) believed that the force the accused used was necessary for protection against death or grievous bodily harm.
You have to watch out for this legal stuff though, lawyers do not speak English much any more.
